I find it very difficult to get free time to work on any of my AppGameKit projects, so I'd like to throw this idea out to see if anyone is interested in a 48hr codeathon? In Jan. I attended my first Game Jam down in Brighton and I think I got more coding crammed into those two days than I have in all the days since. I'm confident if we had a room full of talented AppGameKit developers get together then we'd be able to make magic happen.

The primary purpose for this meet will be to finish partially completed projects, but the agenda will be flexible: Hash out new ideas, discuss 3d Physics, make a complete game from scratch as a team, marketing, how to package games for Android / Apple stores... anything (as long as it is AppGameKit related). All will be welcome: Artists, musicians, coders, maybe even GameGuru users (especially if Preben's loader becomes available)!

No venue or date is set. I'm just testing the water, but I have found a nice place in Leigh-On-Sea, Essex (close to food, bars, and the famous Old-Leigh cockle sheds) called Space282. 24hr access is available and a meeting room for a 48 hour stretch would cost £240 which is big enough to comfortably fit 12 people. I'm thinking Friday evening to Sunday evening 48hrs straight. Cost would have to be split between everyone attending. Tea, coffee and biscuits included in the price .

I know it is far easier said than done to arrange something like this, but if enough people are interested then we can make it happen.

Your thoughts please

I would like to go except New York is a little too far to travel. Perhaps I could be there via Skype or teamviewer.
My contribution would be 3D physics knowledge and the Tier2 C++ side of AGK.

Sounds good, but Essex is a long way for me. Having said that, my first TGC meetup was in Chichester on the South coast.
I arranged a couple of TGC conventions in Leeds, it really is a lot of hard work. My suggestion would be to take the money for the room hire and get everyone to organise their own accommodation once you have the right number of attendees to cover the costs.

I'd be interested if it was a more central location but Essex is practically France!

I say this every time a meet up is mentioned, but I'm interested!

Not enough interest to make it happen I'm afraid
